Hey guys,

I'm just about to do my 100,000km service on my R34 GTT. So far I'v got the engine oil and filter. The timebelt and the kit is on it's way. But I can't any the waterpump or the fuel filter. I'v tried two Repcos and Bursons. None of them stock the waterpump or fuel filter. They won't even order them in. WTF is going on? Anyone know some place I can get that stuff in melbounre?

Cheers People!!

You can buy N1 water pumps for cheap from forum sponsors

N1 water pump on a street car is not the best option. If the car spends a lot of time at high rpm, fine, but on the street you may find the car may over heat, especially in traffic on a hot summer day.

damn why are you guys buying from repco/bursons? theres a gates timing belt kit on ebay for around $360? thats the blue gates timing belt which is the heavy duty one.

kudos motor sport have the genuine nissan timing belt with ngk kit for around $260? why would you pay retail for?

Just buy a water pump off nissan for $90. If they don't have it in stock they can get it in that afternoon.

If you call a gates belt supplier you can probably get the belts alot cheaper.

I think genuine nissan timing belts are only $110.

also, bursons do have them. they are the same waterpump as used in a VL and a R31 I think i paid $70 fo one. just ask for one for a vl commodore in your best bogan accent and you will get it cheap :P

VL water pumps from a rb30 dont fit... at least when i tried years ago on my rb26 .. there ever so slightly bigger then the nissan items..

Yeah i was a bitworried about that on my 32, but never had a probelm on hot days :)

I've used a supercheap vl commodore waterpump on a rb26 before so I don't know what your talking about?? Perfect fit. All RB series water pumps are probably the same.

I think N1 water pumps are a little wank for a rb under 300rwkw. I've got a std radiator and pump with 280rwkw and the water gauge never moves in a 20 min track session.

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
